COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: THE INCREDIBLE HULK

Filming on The Incredible Hulk just began two weeks ago, but, because there's not another Comic-Con International between now and the movie's June 13 release, Marvel Studios pulled out as many stops as it could for its presentation on Saturday.

After finishing shooting at 7 a.m. in Toronto on Saturday, director Louis Leterrier then hopped on a plane for San Diego. He was joined by actors Edward Norton and Liv Tyler and producers Gale Anne Hurd, Avi Arad and Kevin Feige.

Because it's so early in production, no footage was available, but Marvel did provide a quick glimpse at a character concept for the Hulk, which was subsequently posted on youtube.com

COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: SAM RAIMI'S FUTURE?

He still could be involved, but Spider-Man 4 is not currently in director Sam Raimi's future.

At the end of a press conference for 30 Days of Night, which Raimi is producing, he was asked what he's doing next.

Raimi replied, "I don't have any plans." Asked about Spider-Man 4, he reiterated he doesn't currently have any plans and the press conference was ended by a studio representative.

On July 10, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Raimi was to meet with producer Laura Ziskin and Sony Pictures executives withing two weeks.

Ziskin has confirmed that there will be a fourth Spider-Man installment and she would like "everybody to be back."
